where:

    RMAILBX         A <domain-name> which specifies a mailbox which is
                    responsible for the mailing list or mailbox.  If this
                    domain name names the root, the owner of the MINFO RR is
                    responsible for itself.  Note that many existing mailing
                    lists use a mailbox X-request for the RMAILBX field of
                    mailing list X, e.g., Msgroup-request for Msgroup.  This
                    field provides a more general mechanism.

    EMAILBX         A <domain-name> which specifies a mailbox which is to
                    receive error messages related to the mailing list or
                    mailbox specified by the owner of the MINFO RR (similar
                    to the ERRORS-TO: field which has been proposed).  If
                    this domain name names the root, errors should be
                    returned to the sender of the message.

MINFO records cause no additional section processing. Although these records can be associated with a simple mailbox, they are usually used with a mailing list.
